Sometimes there are growing pains felt from a company accelerating as fast as this one, however the exec team and CEO are great with communication about changes and updates.

Advice to Management

Continue to keep staff informed, we appreciate the transparency!

The pros consist of culture, management, part time pay, coworkers and the location. It is an amazing company for college students!

Cons

The full time pay is hard to accept but other than that nothing is wrong with the company

Thanks for your review! We provide a lot of great opportunities for college students to develop within our company and contribute to the success of our Sales team. Across multiple areas, there's a lot of opportunity to grow and move up within the company, and we provide a comprehensive benefits package with insurance, wellness funds, etc to our team members. Glad to hear that you're enjoying your time with us!... MoreLess

Great management, really fun environment and work place. I genuinely enjoy coming into work and working with people who are very passionate about Mindbody across all the departments!

Cons

Sometimes you have to park off-site because we're growing so fast, but they have a new parking garage and a shuttle that picks you up so I can't really complain.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you've been doing! Keep the core values as we begin to grow more and more as a company.

Good work environment that promotes the company's core values. Additionally provide opportunities for advancement and challenge. Healthy work objectives and team morale.

Cons

It is hard to assess any cons at the given point and where I currently stand with the company.

Work life balance is great, benefits are good. Company really cares about it employees, that's not just marketing.

Cons

The CVA process is a dreaded chore.

Advice to Management

The CVA process started as a good idea, its just a painfully frustrating time sink now. Saba is so clunky, and you can't correct spelling errors without starting goals over from scratch. Every 90 days is too much.

Thank you for your review! Glad you are enjoying the benefits here and that you feel cared for. This is what makes MINDBODY such an excellent place to work! I hear on you the CVA's but remember that they should take you 30 minutes tops to complete. It's taking 30 minutes to reflect on where you are, where you'd like to go, and how you're going to get there, which is hard to do when busy, but it's good for you! I would contact Training about the spelling errors part, I think they can fix that for you. Thanks again for the review!... MoreLess

The focus on wellness is great. It's awesome to be encouraged to work out and that there's an expectation of healthy living. You really do get the opportunity to learn here, and that's probably more than you can get working in other companies like MINDBODY.

Cons

Have a concern about the company? Good luck finding someone who will listen. All but the customer service directors and VPs have closed offices and don't really mingle with the rest of the workforce. Want a promotion? The only people I've seen get promoted have either been out of convenience or because someone got pregnant. (And on that note, if you're consciously choosing not to have children or can't, be prepared to feel awkward all the time. There are lots of expectant mothers here, so there are constantly baby showers and people asking you when you're going to have a baby. I've been asked about when I'm going to get pregnant or that "I'm next" more times than is appropriate.) Pay isn't equivalent across departments. Some departments are offered major incentives for performance while others have to pay out of pocket for team building activities. It's really not fair or equitable.

Advice to Management

Actually meet with your employees. Don't cancel one on ones, that's just really bad form and makes your employees feel unimportant. A lot of us are poor and miserable, but because SLO doesn't have many other employment options, we're stuck. It's not exactly the best strategy for a good workforce. Give us a real reason to stay.

Thank you for your review! I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the many opportunities to learn and grow in your career at MINDBODY. My first encouragement to you is to follow through with your manager with your thoughts and feedback that you have in mind. Yes, one on ones do get postponed or cancelled from time to time due to scheduling needs that occur, but it's okay (and encouraged) for you to check back in with your manager to reschedule! We're continuously evolving, and we want to hear your ideas for improvement. So much of our success as a company is due to the drive, ideas, and leadership of each and every one of our team members. MINDBODY is a family-friendly environment, as wellness and work-life balance are key parts of our values. We love our team members and their families, and we'll always be there to support and celebrate these incredible life moments with them as they move ahead into parenthood. The remarks you’ve listed are in fact inappropriate, so please refer to your manager or members of your People & Culture team if this continues to be issue. In regards to thoughts about promotions, yes, there always is a void to be filled when someone departs on maternity leave, but those who step up into new roles are those who have worked hard, are passionate about the company, and are seeking ways to better themselves and their teams. The process of promotion is always carefully thought out and planned by managers, and not something that is taken lightly. Each and every one of our teams play a vital role in the success of MINDBODY. Quite frankly, you and I wouldn't have jobs today if it wasn't for the next team over playing their part and bringing their unique skills to the table. Managers of each department are constantly advocating for the best for their teams, and improvements are consistently being sought in our processes. We are not perfect by any means, but we strive for wellness and health in our lives every day, as we've centered our core values around this pursuit. Please maximize your usage of our wellness benefits that are very much available to you on-site and off-site. Get a massage, participate in a fitness class or recess, and take breaks! Taking care of yourself is a priority, and we give full autonomy to our team members with achieving balance. As you know, we have 20 days of PTO per year in addition to national holidays, and additional sick days are available as well. All this is provided as we want the best for our team members. Thanks again for your review, and we hope all the best for you in your continuing journey with us!... MoreLess

MINDBODY is indeed a great place to work, and I'm glad you think so and feel at home here. Depending on your position you might not see the entry level salary you are accustomed to in other more metropolitan areas, but I can assure you that we are paying industry standard for Customer Service and beyond. Stick with us, provide as much value as you can and you won't have to worry about that for long! Thanks for your review!... MoreLess

They really seem to care about us and people and making sure we are happy. Appreciated people work harder! We have endless resources to assist us and our clients. The atmosphere is very positive, humble and helpful!

Cons

The company is growing quickly and it seems like we need more support in most areas, especially with tech support and training coaches. I think that they are currently working to hire new people and gets these spots filled.

You are right! The hiring heat has been aflame for a while. Anyone who comes to MINDBODY should be aware of the growth pace we have seen, so thank you for commenting on that. So glad you are loving your job and the company, we hope you stay around for years to come!... MoreLess

I am not one to give out great reviews just for the hell of it, plus give such an amazing one as I am about to. I have never felt a company or job have my back as much as MINDBODY. I truly enjoy going to work. The company and people around me are incredible which makes it easier to come in everyday. I would say the average age in the Sales Rep department is 28, so that's nice. We are a true team, well oiled machine. It's nice to confidently say to prospects that we are the preferred (I really mean best and why would you go with anyone else) software for honestly any business. I am a stylist and on salon specific team so having that relation to my prospects is nice but salon's sale cycle is a lot longer that does not deter me. If you want an awesome job in an equally awesome town with the best weather in the world (I mean world) come to SLO! Plus there is an amazing college that feeds young eager kids every year.

Cons

Sales is sales. All I can say is you get out of this as much as you put in. You will reap rewards if you work hard.

Advice to Management

Take the words from your fellow employees and be a fair nonjudgmental "superior" and leader to us.

Great review, thank you for taking the time to give us your insight! What you say of Sales is so true and I'm glad you know this, sounds like you are a great fit in your role especially having a background in the industry! Glad you are loving SLO as well, the weather here is pretty much perfect year-round and a fantastic place to be for the long haul! This is a great review for anyone looking to relocate and also for a sales position. Thank you!... MoreLess
